24 hour veg

[Dr Plough]

What's people's thoughts on vegging for 24 hours ?
Is there any negatives from doing this .
I'm thinking next ladies go into 24 hr veg for around 4 week then 18/6 for 2 then on to 12/12 .
Iv done this whilst re vegging and I'm thinking of doing it with my new clones in the hope they will grow quicker and eat more .
Anybody tried this ?
Cheers

Yes you can veg with the light on 24 hours no problem man, I do it all the time and it's a lot better to keep stable temps too with this cold weather

I also veg 24 hours for 4 week on every grow

[Dr Plough]

Yeah that's one of the reasons I was thinking of doing it
Just wanted to run it by people on here first .
Cheers mate .

its a waste of leccy imo,after 18 hrs of daylight,the plant reaches a point of diminishing returns,also it needs a dark period for photosynthesis + chlorophyll production + cooling down spell e.g night time is as important as daytime imo.atb

p.s we are mother nature indoors man,and must duplicate the outdoors, indoors innit!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr Plough]

It's a fair one beef , they must need sleep .
Hmmm

I agree wiv da captain.
If we trying to replicate the outdoors then we gotta have a dark period :what:

somewhere on web, in a very good and detailed experiment. 20/4 seemed best veg schedule in terms of yield. (vs 16/8, 18/6, 24/0).
I think 24/0 ended up same yield wise as 18/6.
Same clones, lamps, extraction, tents etc.

[Dr Plough]

Interesting , 20/4 would give them extra growth time and rest time to rest and regenerate
I think that may be my answer .

ive tried em all over my career,and ive seen best results @ 18/6 i speak as i find.atb

[Dr Plough]

If you've tried it beef then I'll go with what you say , you are right were replicating Mother Nature not trying to change it .
18/6 it is then and iv treated myself to some 20ltr pots
Mon the trees
